The beauty queen-turned actress opened up on the subject on the occasion of Teacher's Day on Saturday (September 5). The actress recalled her special dance teacher who ingrained the love for the stage in her. ## "One of my most special teachers from school was Ms. Bose. She used to teach us Indian dance and music in junior school. I moved to Delhi when I was seven and in second class, and it was she who ingrained the love for the stage in me. From a very young age she would take me in her programs", Manushi told IANS.## The 23-years old actress told that even though her teacher was among the strictest teachers, she loved her dearly as she learned discipline because of her teacher's strictness. "She was among the strictest teachers I had but I loved her dearly because through her strictness I learned about performance discipline, and I understood that when you enjoy performing and like the stage, there is a lot of practice and self-discipline to go with it". ## Manushi Chhillar, who is all set to make her Bollywood debut with superstar Akshay Kumar in "Prithviraj", remembered the special bond she shared with her teacher.## "As I grew older and left for senior school, I remember I used to meet her once a year during our annual day and she would come with her squad of girls from the junior school to senior school. I would always touch her feet and still do whenever I get a chance to meet her, but she would never let me finish my namaskar and would hug me", she said.## "I share a special bond with Ms. Bose and she is one of my most special teachers. I remember that when we were finishing class XII, we had our candlelight ceremony and everyone was quite emotional. The only teacher I kept thinking about was her because she had seen me grow and always encouraged and pushed me to give my best. I hugged her and I think both of us ended up crying and both of us knew we would miss working with each other". ## Stay tuned...

Upset With Media Outrage On Film Industry, Producers Guild Of India Pens An Open Letter

The Producers Guild of India, on Friday (September 4), has penned an open letter regarding the attacks on the reputation of the Indian film industry across all media. Since the last few months after Sushant Singh Rajput's death, there have been many reports in the media that targeted the film industry in the names of nepotism, movie mafia, drug mafia, etc. ## "The tragic death of a promising young star has been used by some as a tool to defame and slander the film industry and its members. A picture has been painted of the industry a terrible place for the outsiders to aspire to; a place that threatens those who dare to enter it with contempt and derision; a murky den of substance abuse and criminality. This narrative is salacious enough for the media to exploit to great effect in order to boost its ratings, readership and page views", the letter read. ## "But it is not the truth", the letter further stated. "Like any other sector, there is no doubt that the film industry has its imperfections, and there must always be an ongoing attempt by any industry to improve upon itself, learn and evolve while weeding out unsavory elements or improper practices that hold it back. But to paint an entire industry with the same brush is a gross misrepresentation of reality". ## While this film industry has its failure to some extent, there is another undeniable expect is that it is one of the largest industries which provides thousands of jobs, boost travel and tourism, which plays an important part to boost an economy. Stating about the same, the letter further read -## "The film industry employs hundreds of thousands of people, boost travel and tourism, and is one of the most important sources of the soft power of India across the world. It has entertained hundreds of millions of people for over a century and has brought joy, honor, and glory to the nation. It has welcomed and embraced talent from across the country - from the worlds of literature, poetry, art, and music - and has drawn them in to create a unique cinematic language".## Read the full letter, here -## Producers Guild Of India pens an open letter about being upset with the relentless attacks on the reputation of the Indian film industry across all media.Read the complete letter, it's important 👇#Bollywood | #BollywoodBreaking2020 pic.twitter.com/louCZWzkr8— Sacnilk Entertainment (@SacnilkEntmt) September 4, 2020 ## "These are difficult times for the country and the world, so rather than venting our fears and frustrations on each other with vile and vicious trolling, it is more important than ever to come together instead of tearing each other apart".## "The media must look in the mirror and stop fanning the flames. There are some things more important than advertising revenues and ratings - things like common human decency. Let's show we still have some. In solidarity, the Producers Guild of India", the letter concluded. ## Stay tuned...

Mahesh Bhatt Directorial Sadak 2 Makes Unwanted Double

Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt returned as a director after almost 20 years to direct the sequel of his 1991 film, Sadak. Kartoos, that was released in 1999 was the last movie of Mahesh Bhatt as a director before Sadak 2 starring the original cast of Sanjay Dutt and Pooja Bhatt along with the new addition of Alia Bhatt and Aditya Roy Kapur. ## Sadak 2, however, ditched the conventional theatrical release due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and instead, it premiered on the OTT platform, Disney+Hotstar on August 28. Sadak 2 was one of the movies announced by Disney Plus Hotstar on June 29 and was one of the most awaited movies. However, upon its release, it was declared an outright disaster by the critics and the viewers. ## The much-hyped union of the Bhatts with Sadak 2 has proved to be a damp squib. Despite having a talented star cast, this action drama film has now gone on to become the lowest-rated film on IMDb, surpassing the 2015's Turkish film, Code Name: K.O.Z. that rated 1.3 on the website. Sadak 2 currently stands at 1.0 rating after over 56K votes. ## Previously, Sadak 2 had also become the most-disliked movie trailer video on YouTube. The trailer has received over 12 million dislikes till now, in comparison to 707K likes, and the responses to the songs were on similar lines. While the dislikes could be linked to the nepotism debate and trolling for the stars, even critics and other netizens severely criticized the film upon its release on Friday.## Also Read - Dil Bechara Creates History; Becomes The Highest Rated Indian Movie On IMDb## While the trailer has already become the most disliked video on Youtube ever with 94.77%, it is at number 2 in terms of the dislikes in millions.

I Am More Scared Of Mumbai Police Now Than Movie Mafia Goons: Kangana Ranaut

It has been more than two and a half months since Sushant Singh Rajput found dead in his Mumbai apartment on June 14. Even after so much time and CBI probe, instead of solving the death mystery of the late actor, it is getting more complicated now with the new revelations every day. ## As per the latest development in this high-profile death case, the drug angle has also been involved to make things complicated after Sushant's girlfriend, Rhea Chakraborty, and her brother Showik Chakraborty's WhatsApp chat got revealed in which they are seen ordering someone to get doobie, which Google defines as a cannabis cigarette. ## After this shocking revelation, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) registered a case against Rhea and her family. To make things easy for NCB, Kangana Ranaut who has been very active on social media regarding this case offered her help by saying that drugs largely consumed in Bollywood parties of big people and she can help NCB to reach out to them. However, she also seeks protection as she thinks that she has risked his life. ## I am more than willing to help @narcoticsbureau but I need protection from the centre government, I have not only risked my career but also my life, it is quiet evident Sushanth knew some dirty secrets that’s why he has been killed.— Kangana Ranaut (@KanganaTeam) August 26, 2020 ## She had also said in a tweet that if narcotics Control Bureau enters Bollywood, many A-listers will be behind bars -## If narcotics Control Bureau enters Bullywood, many A listers will be behind bars, if blood tests are conducted many shocking revelations will happen. Hope @PMOIndia under swatchh Bharat mission cleanses the gutter called Bullywood.— Kangana Ranaut (@KanganaTeam) August 26, 2020 ## However, even after 4 days, Kangana had decided to expose the Bollywood drug mafia, many people are concern that Mumbai Police hasn't provided protection to her. But Kangana doesn't want protection from Mumbai Police as she scared of them more than movie mafia goons. Instead, she would like protection from Himanchal Pradesh Police or directly from the Centre. ## Thank you for your concern sir, I am actually more scared of Mumbai police now than movie mafia goons, in Mumbai I would need security either from HP government or directly from the Centre, No Mumbai police please 🙏 https://t.co/cXEcn8RrdV— Kangana Ranaut (@KanganaTeam) August 30, 2020 ## Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri had also said that drugs have been normalized in Bollywood over the past decade, bringing in its wake money and terror mafia.

They go stand in JNU or take sides with the Shaheen Bagh people".## "This has never happened in the industry in the past. Be it Dev Anand, Manoj Kumar, Dharmendra, Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan - everybody stood for the country.
